Should I format the System Reserved Partition?

[Iamthewalrus]

Hey everyone, quick question. So I'm doing a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro on my newly upgraded PC. I used to have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit. So I have two drives, Partition 2, (where the bulk of my hard drive space is), and System Reserved, which is 100 MB in size with 57 MB remaining. If I'm doing a clean installation, should I wipe the System Reserved partition? This is on a Windows 10 installation disk, so I'm doing it on there. Do I just format it, or delete it altogether? I just don't know. Thanks for any help.

I usually delete them all and let windows remake what it needs.

So will deleting the System Reserved partition, (not formatting!), work? And will it replace itself upon installation?

Ok so not it's unallocated space, and I guess that's okay. Whatever it needs to do with it, I don't know. Thanks dude!

If I remember correctly when you're doing a clean install Windows gives the option to format the drive completely before installation.
Windows will then create all required folders and sys.reserved partitions to do what it needs to do.
